Why just have one? Polygamy Porter is a smooth, chocolatey, easy-drinkin' brown porter that's more than a little naughty. Take some home to the wives!

Bottle, pours dark brown/black with a nice two finger tan head. The aromas are smokey and roasted malt with thin hop notes. Tastes malty at first, then some of the roasted malt comes forward with light coffee flavors. The finish is bitter with a bakers chocolate flavor in the back of the mouth. The beer is fairly light feeling with a light to moderate carbonation. I enjoy it.

12 oz bottle from Douglas88; Nose of roasty coffee, caramel, and brown sugar; clear brown with medium tan head; taste is pretty good with coffee, a tiny hop bitterness, and caramel, but the 4% body is pretty watery. If I lived in Utah I would drink this when I could not get to the State liquor Store for something more potent like a Sierra Nevada Porter that I saw there.

Courtesy of ibrew2or3. Pours black, with a light beige head. Aroma is roasted (butterscotch). Taste is lightly roasted malts, some spices in aftertaste, some fruit notes and light coffee. Pretty amazing brew for only 4% abv. Update 10-17-09, courtesy of wasatch. flavor was a lot better than I could remember. Lots of good chocolate, lingering oats, roast and malts, full flavor with some nice coffee. At times, some lactose gave the overall mouthfeel a milk-chocolate impression with a light touch of bitterness.

Pours deep garnet with mocha head. The aroma is roasty dark malts, some molasses, a bit of burnt malts and some faint caramel. It gets a faintly vegetable at times. The taste starts with sweet malts mixed with roasty malts followed by some burnt malts too. I get a bit of molasses rounding out the pre finish experience. Into the finish a faint dark fruitiness shows up to add to the mainly roasty malt flavor. Solid tasting brew.

12 oz. bottle in trade with douglas88, who’s still waiting on bottled Flossmoor from me. Pour is much lighter brown, but in the glass, it settles to a deep brown with light highlight and a spongy foam. Smells nice, with roasty aromas summoning me to stop typing and taste. Taste brings in dark roast coffee, with a bit of harshness from over-roasting. Probably highly attenuated, so of course it’s force carbonated and has a bit of cola texture. But who can beat a name like that? Very sessionable, still carries a bit of alcohol, and then a hint of peat, and finally, some baked apple. For a low-alcohol beer trying to stand up in the same class as Alpha Claus, this starts out unassuming, then picks up some interesting complexity along the way, ending with a light coating of malt on the roof of the mouth.

Brown coloured body with a very light tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and very little else. Light to Medium-bodied; Sweet flavours up front with some malted tastes all with a lingering metallic flavour throughout. Aftertaste shows more of the unsatisfactory flavours, too much sweetness and an overpowering cardboard flavour. Overall, not such a great beer, obviously. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle brought back for me from my Uncle from Salt Lake City, UT on 21-April-2007 at the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
